Meet Susan

Susan Bird specializes exclusively in Black Butte Ranch and Sisters Residential Real Estate. She began her Real Estate career at the age of 26 and owned a Real Estate office in Eugene. Three children and several years later, Susan’s family moved to Sisters in 1990. What an amazing place to raise a family!

While preparing to return to Real Estate in 1999, Susan was a Property Manager for Black Butte Ranch Vacation Rentals, created advertising/marketing materials for real estate companies, and wrote articles, a column and took photos for the local newspaper.

Earlier experiences included earning a BS Degree in Business Administration, Assistant Vice President to the President of WAFB Credit Union (Williams Air Force Base) and Assistant to Marketing Manager of Village Inn Pizza Parlors in Arizona.

Community involvement is a pleasure from mentoring Real Estate Brokers and high school students, involvement with Family Access Network, Sisters School Parent Forum, Boy Scouts Webelos co-leader and whatever.

Just for fun, Susan enjoys photography, capturing the beauty of the seasonal changes; water coloring creatures; and outings with family and friends. Also, wrote and illustrated a book with stick figures.

Seller Who Listed Two Homes With Me
 
We want to thank you again for helping us with the sale of our Black Butte house. This was the second time that you have assisted us with a sale and reminded us why we requested your help the second time around. You bring a wealth of knowledge and experience, coupled with good common sense and reflection. You tell us what we need to hear as opposed to what we may want to hear. Your promptness and attention to detail are remarkable. Your integrity provides a great level of comfort, as we know we are in good hands. You are by far the best Realtor we have worked with and we have done many real estate transactions. Thanks again for all of your efforts. ​
